Abhishek - honda bike changes :+3-3 1 month ago

well as i have completed 16000 there is no problem as too much.But friends if there is silencer fade away problem go in market purchase the AEROSOL Spray paint accordance urs colour choice its cost rs 70 for 500 ml.Paint works very well nd works for 5 months easily. and where ever the scratches are coming u can apply it.. Now secondly the problem of vibrations and mileage so first replace the ngk spark plug normal conventional cpr8ea-9 with NGK G Power cpr8ea-gp9 u will increase throttle reponse good starting pickup nd decrease vibrations .spark plug cost 170 rs only. now secondly keep bike rpm at 1.5 ur staring wiil be gud. nw if u have the problem of back pain just go nd get modified ur seat with good dunlop nd aftrr that the ride will be easier nd comfortable.Me cost rs 350 over all . nd friends if u have heating problems pls try the castrol gtx engine oil rating 20w40 it will last longer nd bike will be smooth.hope my review will be helpful

I am using CB-Trigger since Spet 2014 and rode 8800 kilometers on it for daily office commute.
3 major issues:
1. Very unstable Millage: The bike millage is very unstable, sometimes it gives 53 km/l, later it gives 45 km/l and then reduced to 33 km/l. I am the same person riding the bike at the same time same road, same traffic. Millage varies a lot.
2. Starting problem: After bike is off for about 4 hours, to start bike, I have to apply choke, kick for atleast 2 times, then wait for half a minute with chock applied, then off chock, then give some raise, then only bike starts to work. I told this issue to Honda service person, they fix it and and problem raises again in a week.
3. The bike vibrates at the speed from 30 km/h to top speed. Too much vibration.
4. Body paint is worst:
Scratches every where, even when you just keep empty backpack on fuel tank it marks a new scratch. This is pathetic. No need to mention that color of silencer is totally fade away.
Honda service is very poor overall, they never fix the problem permanently.
Not happy at all with bike.

I have completed all 4 Free services now almost 8750 Km.
1)After 2nd service i faced once problem with engine.in between drive engine got Jammed.
2) If we ride through gutter road definitely you will get back pain.
3) Gear shifitng is not so Smooth.
4) Also when heavy wind from sides causes the bike to move away from its way.
5) Disc Breaking is difficult and it can cause skid if u drive between 45-65 Km.

Leslie - best bike :+2-4 3 months ago

I am using this bike for more than a year. So far no problems. Good mileage, good performance, able to maintain constant speed107.. Rarely it speeds up to 114. In 4th gear it goes to 107 but after shifting to 5 it goes smooth. All my friends ask me how is ur bike soo smooth? N pick up is very good all the time.

bike suspention is very very very bad when i riding honda trigger bike i feel back pain so kindly rectify that problem

sdeen - Wrong investment to the most I admired :+3-3 4 months ago

I was impressed @the very first look of this muscular mean.
Visited and researched a lot on this before I bought this one.
I was totally deceived by the Showroom wala Manasarovar Honda at the very first day of my delivery though I paid the entire amount month back before the delivery.
Initially they kept dragging in delivery of this bike for several weeks
Finally got this one arrived but it was so sad the I was given display piece one with many scratches and not up to the MARK
Finally they forced and convinced to take the delivery which I took
Initially had engine overheat issues no matter you drive in city or highway(even if you by drive 40-50)
Complained the same and they came convincing it has to complete a minimum of 1000 km and can be checked later stating it would take time to get the engine set
The mileage what they offered never ever came closer even during initial stage nor post the first service
post the first service engine heat got reduced and not got the engine noise gear shifting noise from1st to 2nd
I lived with it till the third service(gave after 6mths driving only 4k kms,even before it reached the 7000 kms
Poor service and the showroom wala never listened to the complaints what I said as I was still having the engine noise issue.
Then came the tragedy took the bike for long drive next day post the 3rd service
I was driving @ normal speed of 50-55 giving a break of 20 minutes once every 1 hr.
I would've driven probably some 150 kms with the above speed I heard a weird noise on the move and the vehicle went off on the highway and it couldn't be started never that
Took it back as a junk carrying on a parcel van to the showroom and explained the thing happened
After analysing it seems that the engine noise what I mentioned was the cause to get the vehicle engine seized
It took 2 months for me to get the engine replaced and get my vehicle back
Compared to FZ this one never comes closer to it
Vibration if driven post 60
poor plastic quality on the switches and head cowl
no stylish swing arm
still engine noise if driven above 60
Over all I invested on a wrong one,have to live with it

bike is very good but there is seating problem i feel back pain i dont weather it is due to suspetion or seat but bike is very smooth

chandrasekar - trigger with no accessories :+4-7 1 year ago

While all other bikes of its class comes with good package of accessories trigger laks even basic aminities like foot rest. Just because it is Honda it does not come with two horns extra. For which apache or pulsar is more of good and stylish and comes with basic accessories which otherwise takes a huge amount in trigger.

trigger is a awesome byk..all the things are good, but the viser is a bad disadvantage of trigger. the visor is very small. it should be a little bit longer

Viral - Vibration and no saree guard :+12-7 2 years ago

You may feel a bit of vibration at 4000-6000 rpm. no leg guard and saree guard for your wife/mother. Decent pickup and good mileage of 50 kmpl and on highway around 60-65. Rest of all its good. You may feel heat coming from your engine, but it may be resolved after first service and engine oil change.
